Stay With Me

Chapter 5

It's been almost two months since I met Ian. And we've been inseparable ever since. Every Friday, Ian picks our date night, either it being us going out for dinner and a movie or just a candle lit dinner at either of our places. And every Monday night, I pick where we go out for ice cream or such.

Let's just say Ian is the most romantic man I've ever met. And I'm so lucky to have him as mine. And mine only. Not only is he romantic, but he sure does know how take care of me when I'm sick. Like today.

"Are you sure you don't want to go see the doctor? You look miserable babe." Ian says and hands me another glass of water.

"I'm okay. I just need to lay in bed and rest." I assure him with a smile.

"Well, lucky for you. I don't have to work today.  So guess who's staying in bed with you." He smirks and crawls in next to me.

"No! I don't want to get you sick. You'd have to miss work." I push him away from me.

"Nina, I'll be fine. I want to take care of you and I'm not leaving your side." He kisses my temple.

"I guess I can't say no to you." I smile.

"Can you ever?" He smirks again.

"Shut up and cuddle with me." I laugh and crawl into his arms. He hugs me close to him and I relax.

"We probably should have grabbed the remote off the dresser." I say when I realize it's across the room.

"We can get it later. I'm enjoying this right now." Ian says.

"So much for going out tonight. I'm sorry I'm sick." I apologize to him.

"Don't be sorry, there's plenty of more Friday's for us." I feel his lips on the top of my head and I smile.

"NIKOLINA DOBREVA!" Candice screams from downstairs and I sit up.

"What is she doing home? I thought Joe and her had a doctors appointment?" Ian asks confused.

"They did, two hours ago." I laugh.

I throw the comforter off us and I head out the door.

"Candice, you rang." I say and she laughs.

"Guess what!" She squeals.

"You're pregnant? I say and she laughs.

"We've already established that news. We found out the sex. But I can't tell you cause we want to have a reveal party tomorrow, so I kind of need you to help me decorate. We already took the ultrasound to the cake shop, and I went out and bought decorations. Also I made an invite page on Facebook and 12 people have already said they're coming." Candice finishes and Ian and I stare at her.

"What?" She says.

"Nothing, I'm just shocked you are throwing this together so quick." I say.

"Well I don't want to wait any longer to know the sex of the little one growing inside me. And I really wanted to throw this party." She smiles.

"Besides, the quicker we know the sooner we can go shopping for him or her." She says and I nod.

"Where do we start?" I ask hugging her.

"Well let's make Ian and Joe blow up these balloons. And you and I can hang up these banners." She holds up pink and blue banners and heads off into the living room.

Ian and Joe don't even complain about her orders, they know not to upset the pregnant girl.

"Joe and I will go to the store later to get the food. And our parents are going to come early in the morning so I'll wake up and make us all breakfast." She adds.
